Reason behind blog ?

I am writing this blog for a very specific, small interest group and reason.

It is a blog entirely dedicated to our first year in the Swiss school system, having come from England via a year at a small international school in Zurich. It is not an attempt to spark debate about the merits of one system versus another, nor should it be read as advice. It is literally just a record of how we reached the decision to put our children into Swiss school, and how we are finding the system in our Gemeinde within Kanton Zurich. Schools vary within Gemeindes, and attitudes vary from Gemeinde to Gemeinde. The advice from the Kanton might not always be taken on board by the school authorities, and each family has its own priorities and choices to make according to its particular circumstances.

So, this is a blog about schooling – a very English middle class obsession.
